Thanks Bill, That all makes sense and since I've fully charged the start battery, the ONAN cranks every time. I had been through ALL the connections including the hidden from view ones (you don't

Hi Gary, Looking forward to meeting you. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Scott, I believe the Amel 50 will be coming back to my home town on long island in a few weeks. I will definitely be heading to the Caribbean in the fall. I hope to leave about November

I can confirm that Bill is spot on. When I bought Amelia the original battery bank was dead. So it was replaced, but the engine starting battery was new. (Something to do with preparing the boat for

Hi, I have some „bubbles“ in my mast around some old rivets and holes. Two questions: 1. How can I close the holes (drilling the old rivets out or better close them with new rivets?) 2. I would

Alan, I believe that you are describing a situation where the Onan attempts to turnover, but it seems as though you are trying to start it with a weak or dead battery. I recently reviewed this

Hi Eric!! Just a quick pass through this week. Looking to beat the weather and get to Shelburne, NS in the next couple of days. We ~will~ be back in just a few weeks. Want to explore Cape Cod,

Colin, Very understandable with lots of actual and current information. Thanks for that. There are many ways to cruise and many more methods to power your requirements aboard an Amel. When we account

Just remember that the membranes are never supposed to be left dry, so leave some sort of water solution in contact with the membranes. I’m not sure that the entire output side of the tube needs to

Hi Scott In answer to your questions, here is a pic of the boat from the drone we took recently in Marquesas showing you where the solar and wind gens are located. (We have 540W on the davits plus

Hi Miles, I understand your flushing circuit description, that seems like a great idea especially if you have to winter in the cold every year. As I understand it from this thread, neither the

On Amelia I have demoted the Beugel to port side second anchor and now have a Spade 160 as the main anchor. Note that on the starboard side I have installed an extra roller to keep the chain from

Thanks for your input. Before taking the motor out I removed one of the brushes and the armature seemed pretty dirty so I cleaned that up and it is working at the moment, probably could do with a set

Thx! clear!

I know this is an old thread, but it serves to indicate how useful this forum is. I had the issue of the Onan not cranking over the last few days. Press the start button and it would prime, it would

Mark is is absolutely correct, and this applies to the one-way valve on the SM, 54, & 55 AC pump...you need it and it needs to work. Also, if you happen to replace the diaphragm anchor wash pump with

Colin, Good to hear from you! It's amazing we're now so far apart given we were nearly next to each other just a few months ago. That's great that you have so much generation capacity. So you can run

Eric, I'll be in the Chesapeake until around late October. I'm planning on seeing the A50 at the Annapolis show. Any plans to head to the show or the Caribbean after? -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV

The primary anchor on our A54 is a 33kg Rocna. This anchor was installed on the boat when we purchased it. The Rocna has set first time every time for us and the prior owner had literally been
